Artists Reception - All are welcome!

Susan - I paint out of my head, to quote one of my grad school professors. Supernatural beings and spirits of all ethnicities are welcome in my work as a visual storyteller. I am especially invested in interpreting the myths of matriarchal cultures. I seek to express the resilience of our lovely mother
earth, our interbeing with her and the beautiful impermanence of every moment.

Devin - Hey you. Yes, you. Come over here. Check this out. I know you’re in a hurry… everyone is. But just take a minute. I made this for you. Actually, it’s for everyone who doesn’t feel like they have time to stop. The world is moving so fast, and society acts like it’s still not fast enough. And maybe cause we all have some place we gotta be, some thing we must do, there is no time to take a second look. Well, I’m just trying to slow it down for a bit. I’m taking that second look for us. This series is entirely of ordinary, everyday type stuff. It’s mostly forms and colors… little, easy to miss things. Some of it are things I’ve seen countless times before but never noticed cause I was moving too fast. But when I finally slowed down, I realized there was more beauty to appreciate than I ever knew. Beautiful objects and moments are everywhere and go by unnoticed. I captured them in photos to share with you because maybe you’ll start taking second looks. And maybe… you’ll start seeing a lot more beauty in your world.
